CHEM 224 - Cosmetic Chemistry Credit Hours 3
Societies throughout history have employed various forms of cosmetics and toiletries to improve appearance, scent and health. Ancient civilizations used cosmetics for purposes as varied as religious rituals and class demarcation. Though used for different purposes, cosmetics have remained a historical constant from the ancient Egyptians to modern-day Americans. Today, the cosmetic industry is a multibillion-dollar enterprise that relies on chemists (and other scientists) to accomplish a multitude of key functions. This course covers topics related to developing, formulating, manufacturing, testing, and marketing cosmetics and personal care products such as lipstick, eye shadow, shampoo, hair coloring, and other products for adults, children and babies. It will also be a source for information on personal care products: how they work, their safety, and the science behind their ingredients.
Prerequisite(s): One year of high school chemistry.
This course will satisfy the core area requirement in natural sciences.
